You find some pens, and some pens find you.... this pen found me. I walked by it 5 or 6 times wandering around a store one day, till on my way out, I looked down and there it was, in a tiny box with a bunch of old gold pencils.


A quick glance showed me this #2 nib, and I was off to the register. I could smell the flex possibilities.


I believe that this was part of a pencil set, (but I might be wrong) I hope that one day I will be walking through another store and find the matching pencil. I imagine fireworks will go off, doves will burst from the ceiling and a choir will rejoice in the reunion of pen and pencil.----Actually, that would be pretty weird, maybe I will just go on Ebay and look for the match. After pulling it apart and cleaning, I will be replacing the sac on it this weekend. Hopefully I will have some writing samples next week. It's a real Good Pen.

Esterbrook #2

There are 2 physical things in this world that I trust. They both are pictures above. Good old duct tape and my green Esterbrook. I know, if asked, they will always perform reasonable duties. Sure, I wish the nib was a little bit more flexible and that I didn't "have" to use duct tape so much (it usually means something is broken) but they both do their job very well when needed.
This perfect little gem was a very low cost Ebay item that I could easily double my money on, but I just do not feel the need. I have other Esties...it has friends here.

The nib is a 1551 and I usually keep the sac filled with a nice matching green ink for just when I need it. I still really want a very flexible wet nib for my Esties and continue to search for a reasonably priced one, but for now, this is just fine. Good Pen.
